This video discusses the technology of fracking which is a recently developed way of obtaining fuel sources such as natural gas and/or oil. However this process decimates the surrounding environment and often times causes many issues. It is because of this that I have three major questions regarding this technology.
1.) Is it worth the risk of increased earthquakes to get to this amount of fuel when all it is doing is postponing the need for renewable energy?
2.) Does this have an overall positive or negative impact on the economy because although money will be made from what is harnessed, more money will be spent when it comes time to repair the damaged land?
3.) Is it necessary that we use this fracking technology right now, or can we wait and see if we can develop a new technology that will prevent the massive environmental damage being done and forgo the fuel being harnessed until a later time?
